Despite Rising Prices and Customer Complaints, Taco Bell Reports Record Growth and Sales

A 2012 Taco Bell receipt showing two beefy five-layer burritos for $2.59 has gone viral, sparking a conversation about fast food inflation.
Today, just one of these burritos costs $3.59, leading many to question the affordability of fast food.
Many customers, including former Taco Bell loyalists, have expressed their frustration and disappointment over the price hikes.
Some Taco Bell employees have also voiced their concerns about the rising prices, with one mentioning a customer who spent almost $60 on ten items.
Despite the complaints, Taco Bell reportedly broke several growth and sales records last year.
